A former coal-fired power station in Lünen, Germany, is partially destroyed in three controlled explosions. The 110-metre high cooling tower, the 250-metre chimney and the 70-metre boiler house collapse under the blasts, requiring 420 kilograms of explosives in 2100 bores. The Lünen coal-fired power station was commissioned in 1938 and its dismantling began in June 2020. Germany has decided to abandon coal by 2038, although it still accounts for a quarter of its energy mix. IMAGES
